A simple article on bantam growth stages with a few facts about them. I disagree with putting perches in with chicks though, especially if people are planning on breeding them. They should not be allowed to perch until after nine weeks of age as it can effect them negatively, which is noticeable by poultry judges. Also, pure Silkies only have one size, which is neither bantam or standard, but an in between class that most refer to as bantam. Anything outside of that is either a mixed breed or a Chinese import.
I enjoyed the list at the end of the article and would love to see your opinions on the breeds you've kept!
I dont show my bantams but thanks for the info! I dont know that silkies are only one size because my silkies are bigger than my silkie bantams even though the "Largefowl" silkies still arent that big
